Update #108: 3D Dungeon Performance Test Build

We’re happy to announce tangible progress on the dungeons those who have pre-ordered can actually see!

It doesn’t look this good yet, but it will!

It doesn’t look this good yet, but it will!

In preparation to doing the real gameplay release of the 3D dungeons, which is still a few weeks off, we want to see how the tech performs on your computer.  Just Win 10/7 users for now.

What This Is

Just a test of the dungeon tech on your computer.  To see what the framerate is (green, top left).  We have a lot of questions on number of polygons and lights we can get away with in a room.  Actually it’s Emily that really wants to know. Load times between rooms should be fast, but if it lags for you, we need to know now.

What It Isn’t

Any fun at all!

Or very impressive!

We’re not finished the gameplay side of this, so there are no game related features to test.  This is just a tech test so people can poke around and see the 3d dungeons at work. You can wander around in a dungeon, that’s it.

Instructions

If you want to try this build out, simply enable the Build 12 testing branch in Steam with the password “password1234”.  I know, real secure eh?

Gameplay Instructions

Launch the game.  You start in a town.  This build has Developer keys turned on, so just press ‘d’ to spawn a dungeon level and be teleported into it.

Press “L” to give yourself light.

Once inside a dungeon, you can navigate around left clicking the doors, or use the keyboard arrow keys.

There is a surprise new feature: Hold down the left mouse button and drag around.

Release Note:
Room features, other than doors, are not clickable.
Stairs aren’t working, so just press ‘d’ to generate another dungeon level to walk around in
